Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Aisholt

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are there extra charges for Aisholt?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aisholt, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Aisholt

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aisholt. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
